I was trying to read through their website and after taking notes for 15 minutes realized I was looking at LAST YEARs schedule. The clue was a discussion about Batman being the star of a picture for the summer.

The con usually posts the programming schedule a couple of weeks before the show, superfriend. They wait that long because they're never sure of the schedules of the comic creators and movie stars. Nothing really gets finalized until the last minute. For example, Warner Brothers decided to fly Bryan Singer from Australia to San Diego two days before last year's con get started. Singer had to leave immediately after the panel because he was in the middle of shooting Superman Returns.

Mike(You're lucky. Back in the 80's and early 90's, before this internet thingie took off and the con got it's own website, we never knew what the schedule was until we walked into the convention center the day the show started.)

2:30-3:30 Action Figures: Under the Knife— Action figure sculpting is pop art that is just recently coming into the spotlight.

In this discussion with some of the industry’s top sculptors you will learn the path that led them to many a fanboy’s dream job. Find out what tools and materials they use and where laser scanning ends and the sculptor takes over. Panelists will discuss mold making and painting, their favorites, and which characters they would like another crack at. Panelists include sculptors Barsom, DC Direct; Matt Falls, Sideshow Collectibles; Steve Kiwis, Eightball Studios; Mike Locasio, NECA; Ruben Procopio, Masked Avengers Studio; Jean St. Jean, McFarlane Toys; Phil Ramirez, Suspect Toys; and prototype painter Eddie Wires, Toy Biz.
